A Mindset Shift: Recession as a Time to Advance at Retail, Not Retreat
Recorded on September 21, 2022
Surveys show that more than 50 percent of consumers have already changed their eating habits as a result of inflation. Private label and commodities, which tend to do well during these times, are outperforming name brands.
Ironically, many brands have begun to reduce spending on promotions and pricing tools, which will result in a loss of loyalty as shoppers shift focus to deals and value. If there was a time to double down on investing in promotional and pricing tools, it is now. Brands that incent the shopper will find their products in baskets they haven’t been able to acquire prior — so long as the company can execute promos at scale. Retail support is a great way to ensure the money put toward promotions brings a proper return on investment.
